After barely escaping Absalom Delta, Grace Gushiken and Nathan Chevell have a mission: warn humanity. The insect-like Ezeroc are real. And they've already infiltrated Earth.

The crew of the free trader Tyche is being hunted. Men in black-fearsome fighters with inhuman abilities-will do anything to silence them. When Tyche lands, the ship is locked down, her crew scattered and on the run. Without their ship or each other, there's no escape.

The Republic is compromised. The Ezeroc's influence runs deep. And time is running out.

Hope arrives from an unlikely source: the abhorrent espers of the Old Empire, humanity's outcasts and monsters. Their offer is simple: join us, or die.

Five souls. A battered heavy lifter. The last chance to stop an enemy already entrenched in humanity's homeworld.

If Grace and Nate fail, there won't be a war. There will only be a harvest.
